Neoliberal
government attempts to erase its dirty past
According to
SYRIZA MP Zoi Konstantopoulou the new omnibus bill aims to erase
cases of briberies!
“This
is about ordinances whose aim is to misdemeanor briberies to
employees (articles 235 and 236 of the criminal code), according to
which, in case that the action for which the bribery is given is not
against the duties of the employee, the later will be punished to
misdemeanor degree (and therefore erased in five years), whatever the
amount of bribery.”
“This
means that, after publishing the bill next week, many cases
concerning briberies above 120,000 euros, even millions, will be
erased, in case that the action for which they are given 'is not
against employee's duties, but simply refer to them'.”
“In
criminal cases, like military equipment contracts and the 'Siemens'
case, which are now under investigation, or other cases for which the
court has taken permanent decision, could be erased or downgraded to
misdemeanor degree.”
